brazenbitch:
Rather than sending the Komen Foundation any money, send a donation directly to Planned Parenthood. And in addition,make your donation to Planned Parenthood as an “honorary gift”, requesting that a card be sent to:
Karen Handel Senior VP c/o Susan G. Komen Foundation P.O. Box 650309 Dallas, TX 75265
even if you could only give a dollar or two plus...

Ban the use of drug dogs. Now. →
Obviously, the ultimate goal here is to call off the War on (Some People Who Use) Drugs, which is run on magic and bigotry, and does more to destroy communities than to prevent drug addiction. But in the more immediate future, we must demand an immediate end to all use of drug dogs, certainly until it can be demonstrated in double blind studies run by experts that the dogs are detecting drugs...

I’m at the airport waiting for my flight back to Portland and they are playing Christmas music.
Mormons
I went on a walk with my nieces this afternoon and ran into Mormon missionaries. It was a little annoying that they wanted to barge in on my time with my nieces, but it did give me the opportunity to talk with the girls about religion and other strange beliefs that people may have. I even did a little impromptu ”Dragon in My Garage.” I really wanted to stress the importance of asking...

Is Atheist Money Too Controversial for the... →
Nobody at the ACS has ever said, in words, “We don’t want our organization to be associated with atheists. It’s too controversial. We don’t want atheist money.” And when asked if this was the case, they have denied it.
